Sportser keeps saying Aquiring Signal

This radio is am original Sportster, I am using it my truck with a car kit. Last night it stopped working properly. I get a full SAT signal but I get no TER signal and I get mostly no audio anymore. Every now and then I will hear some audio then it will start to cut in and out, but mostly I get nothing. and it keeps saying acquiring signal where I know I get a full signal all the time. I have tried another antenna and I get the same thing.

Actually its a mot a 3 it is a original sportster even before the replay. Its about 6 years old. When my radio says acquiring signal you can look in the bottom left where the signal meter is and it shows a FULL signal. After trying lots of things that Sirius Support wanted me to try, I had to order a new radio. The main reason I wanted to keep my original Sportster is that it is one the FCC says puts out too much power and I always got such great reception using the FM transmitter.

I ended up ordering a Starmate 5 with Vehicle kit to replace my old Sportster. I do have a Stiletto 2 also but I would rather not keep that in my truck.

Thanks for all the help,
J

If that is the case, and you already tried a new antenna... unfortunately it sounds like your sportster 3 is at its end of life.
